David Bensley will lead the discussion on The Sign of Four as we continue our 40th year of monthly meetings Occupants and new guests are reminded that anyone else may also present a
paper for this journey through the 60 narratives. Why should we have
one main speaker and allow others to submit papers? Because it allows
for infinite variety. To join us at Alongi’s Restaurant in
DuQuoin, Illinois, look for the red brick building on the north side of
Main street, just west of the train tracks. Enter and find yourself
once again transported into a world of Hansom cabs, gaslights, and
swirling yellow fog — it is 1895. Our genial hosts will be pleased to
help you find Camden House and the Occupants. All you need ask is
“Where is Sherlock Holmes?” If you are not a fixed point in a changing
age, you may wish to go to the phrase “Come at once if convenient” to receive driving
directions. No matter how you find us, we hope you will join us as we
explore the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

About Me

The Occupants of the Empty House, the Southern Illinois Sherlock Holmes society, meets monthly at Alongi's restaurant in DuQuoin, Illinois. We are one of the most published societies in the world. At our meetings, guests may order dinner off the menu. Our meetings are casual, thus you decide what you wish to wear to the meeting. If you would like to discover how we have managed to meet monthly since 1977, you are more than welcome to attend. We promise great cuisine, thought provoking programs, and constructive criticism. All thoughts contained in the presentations are accepted. Each month a volunteer looks into one of the 60 cases written by Dr. Watson following the original Annotated Sherlock Holmes order. Check the blog for the meeting date and location each month.
